  • Seiji Morimoto studied musicology at the Kunitachi College of Music, graduating in 1996. During this period he began to play electronic pieces by John Cage and his own sound performances. Since then he has been creating sound performances, installations and videos. In 2003 Morimoto moved to Berlin, has performed and exhibited in many international festivals in Europe and Asia. Seiji Morimoto focuses on unstable acoustic phenomena between everyday objects and technological media. The search for small, differentiated structures and the attempt to discover these random phenomena through and within technological media determine his work. He has collaborated with Takehisa Kosugi, Olivier Di Placido, Olaf Hochherz, Ignaz Schick, Luciano Maggiore, Crys Cole, Felicity Mangan, Alessandra Eramo, Nicolas Wiese, Seijiro Murayama, Hannes Lingens, Johnny Chang, Katsura Yamauchi, Makoto Oshiro, Yan Jun, Mario de Vega, Eric Wong, Liz Allbee and many others.
